This year I decided to participate in Socktoberfest and dedicate the month of October to socks. I defined 3 objectives:

Finish at least one of the Lace Stockings that are on the needles;

Spin a sock yarn;

Make some socks with the homespun yarn.

I can scratch the second item on the list.

Remember the wool from Alentejo that I bought some time ago? It’s already spun and I started doing the socks. I spun a single thread alternating the 2 colors and than I “fold” it and made a 2 ply yarn. This way some parts of the yarn are back, some are garnet, and other part are a mix of the two. By the piece of the sock that I already started you can see the effect of the color on the yarn.

For the socks I’m following this pattern and I’m making thick house socks.

And this is all for now. Don’t forget to check the GIVEAWAY, there’s still time to participate
